While Poland has entered European Union and NATO years ago, there are still some differences between us and the West: one of them are certainly the movie release dates. Here are three movies I'm still waiting to see although my colleagues in France or England probably already did:
The Revenant
From the very first time I saw the trailer, this movie stroke me as different: while "a man tries to survive in the wilds" kind of movie usually seem boringly repelling to me, this one promises dramatism and excitement. Starring Leonardo Dicaprio - a great actor who should have got the Academy Award a long time ago - it's gritty and brutal, and will surely turn out to be a fascinating experience. Fun fact: a "revenant" is a word used to describe a person who has supposedly return from the grave!
The Hateful Eight
You either love Quentin Tarantino or hate him, and in the recent months he has been more controversial of a figure than ever before. Personally, I find his movies really captivating, and it seems like in the last years - with "Inglorious Basterds" and "Django" - he has found a new formula, after several not so good movies such as "Jackie Brown" or "Kill Bill". While some accuse him of shwing unnecessary and excesive violence on screen, to me, he is a great director, and his sense of humour and original characters more than make up for all his weaknesses.
The Lobster
A new movie of Giorgios Lanthimos, director of one of the most disturbing films I've watched, "The fang", is a dystopain Sci-Fi in which single people are closed in a hotel and forced to find a person to pair with within a certain period of time - or else, they are transformed into animals. This seems to be a great idea, and probably will give us some great characters with interesting relations with one another. I just hope it won't turn into a "lets break out of this prison" kind of movie - that would be just too simple and the director can do better than that.
